Could you give an example of how you approach warming up as if you were doing Tier 1 Basic version, day 1?

There should be absolutely no difference in how you'd warm up for any other heavy, high effort set for a given exercise or muscle group.

I absolutely most definitely don't want to sounds condescending, but if you're not sure about how to warm-up, which can very very much depending on a given day (weather, aches n' pains, etc.), they you probably are not in tune enough with your body to be doing any program that is based on progressive overload and pushing your limits.

Some people will do a couple high rep sets or 10-15 and be ready, esp. if the weight is low. If it's a leg press with 12 plates, it might take 5 warm up sets with 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 plates / side for 10, 8, 6, 4, and 4 reps.

Do you mimic the patter in which the set up is? For example go to leg press warm up, then go to leg extension and warm up, and then go to leg curl and warm up?

If that's what you need to warm up.

Also what happens if you fail on the leg press for example between 6-12 reps and then you go to the next exercise but you didnt add enough weight and are able to get more than 12?

I'm going to ask you this one.

What do you think you should do in that case?...
